I wonder if they're talking about not providing reimbursement for expenses incurred specifically as a result of not having the bags and contents- having to buy things while on the trip? In this case, it makes sense that they wouldn't reimburse on that basis as you're home now. They should, if/when the bags are considered lost, provide some reimbursement for the contents, as opposed to a reimbursement for expenses incurred.

Of course, as noted, this may be an AF, and not AA, issue.

Cheers.
